LAND OF T H E

LATTER-DAY SAI NTS

Salt Lake City was fowlded in July 1847 by Mormon p ione rs under the lea rship of B ig­ ham Young. Since then it has served as the world center f Mormonism (or, more correctly, the Church of Jesu Chri t of Latter-day Saints).

Perhaps only three-fifths of its people belong to the L.D.S. Church today, but Sal t Lak City is ynonymous wi h Mormonism in the minds of most visitors, and lonnon T emple Square is the most popular attraction in Utah. Certainly the majority of Salt Lake's monuments and histori­ cal points of interest have a lormon background.

Temple Square (shown on the cover) is the symbolic heart of Mormonism. It contains the granite Temple, h (Te domed Tabernacle, As­ sembly Hall, Bureau of Information and Church

Thl, is the Place Monumen. at the mouth of Emlg,atlon Canyon - nucleus of PIo­ neer Monumen. S'a'e Park. Nearby I. a modern visitor cenler con.alnln g a large plon••r mural.

Temple Square is known the world over for it s G.eat Organ and famed Tabernacle Chol., wh ich ha s broadcast every week for three de cadel.

Utah's Imposing gran ite and marble Capitol overlooks Salt Lake Valley from a lofty van足 tage point.

Museum, old log house, monuments, and beauti­ ful gardens. In the Tabernacle, noted for its re­ markable acoustics, is the Great Pipe Organ; this organ and the renowned Mormon Taber­ nacle Choir are heard weekly over a national radio system. Grounds and buildings (except the Temple) are open to the public, and tours are p rovided \vithout charge. Free organ recitals d aily.

N oted as one of the most beautifully-situated cities in the world, Salt Lake City lies in Salt L ake Valley and takes its name from America's huge inland sea, the Great Salt Lake. Above the city on the east and north rise magnificent peaks of the \'Vasatch Mountains; on the southwest, the valley is bounded by the less rugged but almost as high Oquirrh Mountains, which con­ tain the great open-pit copper mine at Bingham.

The lake lies some 15 miles west of the city.

Much of Salt Lake Valley is now occupied by the city and its sprawling suburbs, which to­ gether contain more than 40% of Utah's people.

Picturesque canyons descend into the valley from the \Vasatch Range, affording cool camp­ grounds, summer resorts, and ideal winter sports areas. Brighton and Alta, only an hour's drive

from the city, are popular resorts; their snow and slope conditions are claimed to be unsur­ passed for ideal skiing.

Big Cottonwood and Little Cottonwood Can­ yons, in which Brighton and Alta are located, are two of the most impressively rugged gorges in western America.

Salt Lake City is famed for its exceptionally wide streets and four-square plan, which date from the earliest days. It is also known for its fine residential areas and great number of trees. ?-.-lany points of interest are illustrated. Among those which are not might be listed Memory Park and its lovely marble Meditation Chapel; Mormon Battalion Monument on the Capitol grounds; Pioneer Memorial Museum, across Main Street from the Capitol; Liberty Park and Tracy Aviary; old Fort Douglas on the eastern foothills; Hogle Zoo, featuring Shasta the Liger (offspring of a lion and tiger); University of Utah and its art, geology, and anthropology museums; beaches at Great Salt Lake; Beehive House, one of Brigham Young's homes; Brigham Young's grave; Genealogical Society, largest of its kind in the world; the beautiful International Peace Gardens; and chapels of various denominations.

This buge open-pit mine at Bingham Canyon produces more than a fourth of the nalion's copper. Note the town of Bingham, at bottom.

I vaar norskc kulturarv har sang og musikk en bred plass. Det er en stor glede og se hvordan disse verdier bevares og holdes i ere blant det l1orsk-ettede Amerika, og jeg vii gjerne paa denne maate sende mine beste onsker til arrangorer og deltakere ved den storc Sangerfesten i Salt Lake City.

It is indeed a great pleasure for me to extend my best wishes for a successful "Utah Trails Sangerfest." It is the first time that the National Norwcgian Singers' Association and the Pacific Coast Norwegion Singers' Association are joining their hands and voices in such a venture. And in choosing Salt Lake City as their meet足 ing place they have selected a city with great traditions in singing.

The Norwegion Singers will certainly live up to the expecta足 tions of a great performance of "vorks by Norwegian composers and poets. The Norwegian-American Singers are proud bearers of their forefathers' best cultural traditions in the field of songs and music - a most valuable part of their Norwegian heritage.

C. O. Jorgensen Consul General of Norwav for Utah, Colorado, \Vyoming, Nevada, Northern California, Oregon, Idaho, \Vashington , and Alaska

C. O . Jorgensen Consul Generol of No rway

\Vc the people of Utah arc indeed most fortunate to have the privilege and to be thrilled by the "u tah Trails Sangerfest" pro足 gram. It is really a great meeting of the east and west when the Norwegian Singers' Associations get together and present works of great Norwegian composers. This is an unprecedented event which will he enjoyed not only by i\'orwegians and people of Norwegian descent but by peoples of all nationalities residing in this area. I wish to ex tend my congratulations to the local Sanger足 fest Committee who have made this event possible as well as the Sangerfest Singers for coming to Salt Lake City.

ORGANIST

Only less famed than the great organ in the Mormon Taber足 nacle of Salt Lake City is the artist who in the past two decades has demonstrated the vast auditorium's unique acoustics and the instrument's fine qualities. This man is Dr. Frank W . Asper, who has played over 6,000 concerts on this famous organ.

Hundreds of world celebrities have heard Frank W. Asper at the console of the great organ, among them three presidents of the United States, King Frederik XI of Denmark, King Gustavus Adolphus VI of Sweden, and King Olav of Norway. Morover, he has appeared with such artists as Jascha Heifetz, Patrice Munsel, Leopold Stokowski, and Eugene Ormandy, After three years of study in Europe, Dr. Asper was for a time on the faculty of the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. His services were at that time in such demand among the churches of the fashionable South Shore. He was chosen to repre足 sent the western organists at the Philadelphia Sesqui-Centennial, at which time he played the gigantic organ now used by the University of Pennsylvania.

Glad you came and and us befriended,

'Welcome then into our midst.

To each one our hearts extended,

While we greet you : "Takk for sist."

Sing of our beloved Norway

Sing her beauty, blessed land,

God was good since he intended

Like a prayer our thanks are winging,

Upward for the gift he gave,

Use it then, it will go with you

Magnified beyond the grave.

Salt Lake Valley presents a constantly changing pano足 rama of color and variety. Much of it is rural, as in these scenes, while canyon roads ,lead into the nearby mountains for autumn walks or unsurpassed winter . por1~ .

North ve tern Utah mbraces some 13,000 square miles of mowltains, vall ys, fertile plains, river , m- rshes, salt desert, and Great Salt Lake.

It is a varied land in the extreme, containing an amazing variety of topography as well as all kinds and sizes of cities, towns, and villages.

Most of the area's people live between the lake and the mountains, along the mile-high Wasatch F ront th t separates the Rockies fro m the Great Basin. They capture and se th pre足 cious water that used to flow unimpeded into Great Salt Lake, tho ugh most of this eventually finds its way to the lake even now.

Two major streams empty into the lake in

this region. They are the Bear and 'Weber Rivers.

Largest is the Bear, which begins its long jour足 ney in the High Uintas and travels a meandering journey of .500 miles before finally emptying into Great Salt Lake near Brigham City, only 90 air miles from its source.

The Weber also heads in the Uintas but takes a more direct 1'Oute to the lake. Logan, Little Bear, and Ogden Rivers are other important streams .

These waterways are of great importance to Northwestern Utah, for they provide irrigation water, and water for drinking and industrial usc.

the rivers, including Pine View, Echo, Rockport, H yrum, and E ast Canyon Reservoirs; and these huge man-made lakes are extremely popular for boating, fishing, and water skiing.

Rockport Lake is a state-operated recrea­ tional area with ramps, camping and picnicking areas, cabins, and concessions. The other reser­ voirs are also developed to varying degrees.

One of the most popular sports is bird hlm t­ ing in the marshes west of Brigham City, Ogden, and F armington. Bear River Bay especially at­ tracts millions of waterfowl, which are protected most of the year by a Migratory Bird Refuge (a fascinating place to visit).

Scenic mountain roads climb to the edge of the \Vasatch Front north of Ogden and east of Bountiful, providing some of the most spectacu­ lar panoramic views in America. Another de­ lightful drive is H ighway 89 up Logan Canyon and over the summit, where Bear Lake lies in all its splendor far below.

For pastoral beauty, Highways 30 and 189 along the ' Veber River, or State 39 from Ogden to Huntsville, are difficult to match. The drive up Hyrum and Blacksmith Fork Canyons to Hardware Ranch is another memorable experi­ ence, especially in winter when hundreds of elk congregate at the ranch for fe eding.

Winter sports may be enjoyed at Snow Basin, east of Ogden, and Beaver Mountain in Logan Can/on, both of which are developed resorts.

Logan, Brigham, Ogden, Bountiful and other cities are exam ples of civic pride and clean­ lin ss. They contain many worthwhile points of interes t that willmore than repay the time taken to visit them. Accommodations and services are plentiful in thi region, and of the highest type.

Thougl m elevation above sea level they an: n t mong the nation's highest mountain when con­ sidering ri e in feet and angle from base to summit, they do compare favorably with the loft iest peaks in the country.

Mt. Timpanogos, for example, sweeps upward more than 7,000 feet in a hori­ zontal distance of only four or five miles, while the peaks of Mt. Nebo rise almost that high in the same distance.

In only eighty miles, south from the Salt Lake area to Mt. Nebo, this impos­ ing mountain front presents an array of alpine forms difficult to match for var­ iety. The Wasatch is a geologically complex range at best, and here it has outdone itself in versatility of style.

Seemingly every type of mountain form is represented, ranging from the craggy, pointed cones and horns of the Cotton­ wood region, through the triplet peaks of Nebo, to the immense flat ridge of Timpanogos.

The people of Utah love these moun­ tains, for their constant spiritual uplift as well as the life-giving water they pro­ vide, their cool canyons, rivers, lakes, and winter playgrounds.

Scenic drives around Timpanogos and Nebo, or high into the Uinta Mountains, or through Provo Canyon into beautiful

LA D OF THE

DINOSAURS

Near imposing Split Mountc in G rge, where Green River finally succeeds in slicing its way through the massive Uintas , is headquarters and visitor center of Dinosaur National [onument.

Here an attractive modernistic building has been built against the famous elill quarry fro m which thousands of fossilized remains of ancient life have been removed.

In Vernal, not far away, an enormous replica of one of the dinosaur keletons found at this quarry has been erected in front of the Utah Field House of N atural H istory. A major state park, this outstanding museum contains many inter sting exhibits in the Selds of paleontology (fossils), cucheology, geology, and natural history.

The merchants of Vernal have adopted a dinosaur as their regional trade mark, and Dinah (as their particular mascot is affectionately k own) now is the recognized symbol of D ino­ saurland. On the outskirts of town, a most un­ usual park is under construction. This park will contain life-size models of many different dino­ saur types, placed in a natural setting such as mus t have existed in their own day.

So, ortheastern Utah can truly be caned the Land of the Dinosaurs. But it is also the land of Utah's highest mountains, the forested Uintas ; of the Green River and its tremendous canyons; of the Ute Indians; of the mineral rich and fe r­ tile Uinta Basin; of Flaming Gorge D am, glacial lakes, and rushing streams. It is a land of fascin­ ating yesterday and more fascinating today.

Road lead from H ighway 40 north into the m ountains, where fishing and hunting are won­ derful. Trails continue on from the roads into the High Uintas Wilderness Area, a majestic land of 13,000-foot peaks and lake-filled glacial basins.

From metropolitan areas further west, a paved road winds over 10,000-foot Bald Moun­ tain Pas right into Mirror Lake Basin - a magnificent region of peaks and lakes, at the headwaters of four major rivers.

Roads also lead north from Vem a] and south from Wyoming to Manila, Lim od, and Dutch John, in Utah's most isolated county. Dutch John is the state's newest town, founded as con­ struction site for nearby Flaming Gorge Dam. TIll huge dam, being built in Red Canyon of Green River, will soon harness that rampaging stream and back up a 91-mile lake almost to Green River, \Vyoming.

The drive north from Vernal to Flaming Gorge and Manila passes through areas of h·e­ mendous earth displacement and erosion, where a billion years of geologic history may be read in various rock formations. Sheep Creek Canyon west of Manila is one of the most rugged in Utah.

Roads also wind through the primitive, cha­ otic mountain country of Dinosaur National Monument to spectacular viewpoints along the Yampa and Green Rivers. Others lead south into little-visited DeviI's Playground, White River breaks, and Roan Plateau . Nine-Mile Canyon, a deep gorge south of Myton, contains ancient cliff dwellings and rock paintings.

Communities i Northeastern Utah offer all types of services and fine accommodations. Visi­ tors are heartily welcome.

[) LAND OF THE

STANDI G ROCKS

Near the jlIDction of the Green and Color do Rivers in Southeastern Utah, perched atop the of c(llored rock canyon walls, is a weird regi formations carved by nature into almost every conceivable shape. Fins, spires, ridges, towers, arches, buttes, and tapestried cliffs make this area one of the world's supreme examples of intricate erosion.

East of the junction, these wonderful forma­ tions have been named "The Needles." Those west of th rivers are known as "The Land of Standing Rocks." Both nam es are appropri te, and par 'cularly the latter - f r no more descrip­ tive phrase could be applied to this amazing region.

Actually, all of Southeastern Utah is a Land of tanding Rocks, and it must be seen t be believed. Here the great Colorado and its tribu­ taries, aided by subterranean forces and the weather. have created a brilliantly colored up ­ and-down landscape that is hardly eqll alled any­ where.

Four national monuments are located in this regi n. They are Arches, Hovenweep, Natural Bridges, and Rainbow Bridge National Monu足 ments. Dead Horse Point j a newly-created state park, and Monument Valley is now a Navajo Tribal Park. Many other points of interest are being considered for either national or state park status.

Much of outhea ·tern Utah is sti ll "explorer coun try." It can be reached only by jeep, on horseback, afoot, or in bClats. Such roman tic sounding places as The Needles, Rain bow Brid ge, Grand Gulch, Clay Hills, Grandview Point, Hole-in­ the-Ro k Trail, Dark Canyo~, Beef R sin, Arch Canyon, Upheaval Dome, and o her attractions are still remote from the hard-topped Toad.

Bu t they are accessible for pe()ple w 0 like something differen t in this day of plush resorts and super highways. There are a number f experienc .d, licensed guides i n the area, who fur nish everything ne ded for memorable experiences by jeep, boat, or packhorse - or even bird 's-eye sightseein by plan .

Many major p oints of interest, n th other ham , can be reach d bv sedcill and short hikes. A new paved road penetrates into the rugged Arches area, and good trails lead from the road to th p rincipal form ation. A good graveled road leads to Dead H or se Point, another to Owachomo natural bri ge (with trails to its sister bridges, Kachina and Sipapu).

LAND OF THE

SLEEPING RAINBOVtl

Capital Reef, above, a thousand-foo t cl iff painted in many colors. Main feature of Capitol Ree f Na tion al Monument.

Betwe ,n the fore ted High Plateaus and de p canyons of the Colorado River lies a land of almost unbelievable color and form. To sec足 tions of it the Indians are said to have ap! lied the name "Land of the Sleepin g Rainbow."

This is a most fittin g name for all of East足 Central Utah, where the rainbow's fleeting colors have been immobilized in everlastin g stone. ~I ost f he rainbow' vivi colors are found in the thou 'and-foot face of Capitol Reef, in the Fre足 mont River Desert, and in the painted amphi足 theatre of the Circle Cliffs. Others, more subAutumn along th. Fremont River (right' .

dued, are £ und in the pastel canyons of the Escalante; in Cathedral Valley, Goblin Valley, Hondoo. Glen Canyon, Sinbad, Land of the Standing Rocks, along the cast slope of the Waterpocke Fold and elsewhere in this vast, inspiring region.

But color is only one of the attributes of this marvelous land. Strange fonn is another. In few places on earth can be found such magnificent ramparts as Capitol Reef and the Straight, Or­ ange, Circle, and Hondoo Cliffs. Fe, other riverways match in concentrated grandeur th Escalante canyons, Buckl oro Wash, Cataract Canyon, Glen Canyon, Fremon t Canyon, San orth Rafael Canyon, M uddy Canyon and Wash.

Alma t nniq te for perfect symmetry are the huge natural cathedrals of Cat11edral Valley, And the infinite variety of form in Goblin Valley, the Standing Rocks, Sinbad, D viJ's Garden, and elsewhere in East-Central tah is hard to com­ prehend, even when seen. ~vIuch of this region, as in Southeast m Utah, is still comparativel: remote.

Vehicles with four-wheel drive can reach the Circle Cliffs, Standing Rocks, Hall's Creek, rim of the lower Escalnnte, lower Fremont Canyon, ::rnd other remote aI'eas. Horses are needed, of course, for pack trips down the Escalante and into roadless regions. The fearful rapids of Cata­ ract Canyon require special boa and guides; on the other hand, a variety of craft may be used along the peaceful stretches f Glen Canyon and Green River.

Guides are available with jeeps, station wagons, planes, bor es, and boats for those who wi h t eave the beaten path and see natur 1 wonders heretofore almost unknown.

Visitors to East-Central Utah will be en­ c anted also by the pion cr, rough-hewn atmos­ phere of its little villages, lonely ranches, and semi-ghost towns.

LAND OF THE HIGH PLATEAUS Central Utah is a land of massive, tabular uplifts, rising a mile or more above the fertile valleys that separate each from the others.

Most of these fo rested highlands reach maxi足 mum elevations of 9,000 to more than 12,000 feet; and because of their altitude and relatively broad summits, they are known as the High Plateaus.

Central Utah's High Plateaus harbor some of the state's loveliest forests. They are home for thousands of mule deer, as well as a large var足 iety of other wildlife. And their dozens of lakes and streams provide some of the best fIshing in Utah.

The High Plateaus are where people can get away from it all by camping out in beautifully situated campgrounds, surrounded by pictur­ esque aspen an d frj endly evergreens. There is always a 1ak n arby, or a gurgling stream; and most roads winding onto the plateau provide thrilling vistas of outhem Utah's inc mparably colorful scenery.

Here in the plateau country are such favorite fishing spots as Fish Lake, Navajo Lake, Pan­ guitch Lake, and numerous reservoirs. The three

lakes are kept well stocked, and they are devel­ oped with lodges, cabins, campgrounds, boat rentals and launching facilities. Not far away, over good roads, many pleasant communities provide all types of services and high class ac­ commodations.

These hospitable valley communities com­ bine the hustle and bustle of modern life with the quiet charm of rural pioneer living. Con­ temporary architecture contrasts picturesquely with many old-time homes and business houses, which exist here in greater number than almost anywhere else in Utah.

Highest of the plateaus is the rugged Tushar Range, between Marysvale and Beaver, which reaches elevations of 12, 200 feet. Roads climb into the rolling upper reaches of this imposing plateau, passing through charming meadows and forests at the base of grand peaks, and offering breath-taking views of valleys and far- flung mountain ranges. Puffer Lake, Kent's Lake, An­ derson Meadow Reservoir, and other lakes on the Tushar are noted for their excellent fishing and delightful settings.

Supporting one of the highest ever­ green for sts in the 'Vorld atop its U ,OOO foot summit. the Aquarius also harb rs dozens of hidden little lakes where the fish seldom en­ counter foo d p roferred by man. From its r cky shoulders, travelers may view some of th na­ tion's sublimest panoramas.

The best known attraction in the Land of the Painted Cliffs, and the most wonderful, is Bryce Canyon National Park. For sam 25 miles along the east rn face of the Pink Cliffs, nature has sc lptured a numberless multitude of ex­ quisite limestone formations and painted th m in practically every color of the spectrum - but mainly in various hades of red. Bryce Canyon is a color photographer's paradise, and few visi­ tors can restrain spontaneous exclamations of delight when they first view it from the upper rim.

Open ali year, Bryce Canyon is well devel­ oped with trails, campgrolmds, I dges and cab­ ins, stores, visitor center, and service stations.

The brightly c lared Vermilion Cliffs parallel Highway 89 from Kana h tm\ ard Glen Canyon dnmsite. Deposits near their base are fruitful sources of petr ified wood.

Within this region of the P inted Cliffs, local earth disturb ances, streams, and climatic factors have created oth r natural wonders that rank high in scenic beauty. Among these are Koda足 c1u-ome Flat, Grosvenor Arch, Cottonwood \Vash, and the delightful Coral Pink Sand D un s west of Kanab.

Cottonwood Wash follows the East Kaibab ).1onocline, which is a major displac ment of rock layers. In some ways the imp sing scenery is simiJar to Capitol Reef in color and scal .

Little known as yet, but accessible by sedtm, the Cottonwood Wash area is destined for future fame.

AGAIN THE LUR CALLS

by AI Biorge yfany generations ago, the playing of the "Lur," a Ion ", hand-carved wooden trumpet, would summon the villagers from many miles around in primitivc ;\'orway to annual and spontaneous Folk Festivals. Young and old alike participated in thesc Festivals with clancing and song in the traclitional ~orwegian style continuing for hours and hours ancl maybe into many clays. The land of the midnight sun knew no nights for many days in the heart of the summer so this was cause for celebrating.

A people long on resolHcefu lness developed, through centuries of seeking, means to live in a hardy terrain .

This resourcefu lness extended into the happier moments of play and cntertainment. Thc Norwegians made their own instruments such as the "LuI''' and the "Harclanger fiddle ," an 8-string violin with four strings vibrating in harmony with the basic four strings being played. An­ othcr instrument common inthat day was the "Langeleik" consisting of seven (or more) strings.

Folk songs and folk dances developed from these fes­ tivals were to mark the Norwegians as distin<.:tive in their culture. 1 ot being backward about borrowing what they thou ght was good from other countries, new ideas fre­ quently blended with the old to add freshness to each fes tival. On e of these ideas borrowed from Germany was to have the men sing alon e in unison. Then the Norse­ men discovered the harmony of part singing and the malc chorus came into existence.

Halfdan Kjerulf, Riehard Nordraak and Eclvard Grieg put into permanent form the beautiful treasurE'S of song so naturally developed hy the ancient Norscmen. ~Ial e choruses were organized among University stu­ dellts il1 • orway as early as 18:2.7. Other male choruses consisting of tradesmen and citizens in general were also formed throughout Xorwav. Three of these choruses \ hich started in t84.5 arc still in ex istence today.

In 1849 various choruses in Norway joined in their first national "Sangerfest." Thesc Sangerfests have been held ever since. It became a matter of honor for every

eommunity to have a good male chorus and a far grea ter honor to he host to a "Sa ngerfest," a festival of song.

This same spirit of harmony came with the heavy migration of l\orwegians to America and the immigrants founcl themselves gathering together for traditional Syt­ tende ~.Jai and other festivals. Forty-three veal'S after th e first Sangerfest in Norway, Sioux' Falls, 'South Dakota wns the scene of the first American Sangerfest in 189:2..

Sangerfests have been held regularly from that date to this with only one exception when World \Var II made traveling prohibitive.

Yiany ancl varied has been the experiences of these crusacling singers. In 1898, for instance, the National Sangerfest was helcl in Omaha, Nebraska where the local committee arranged to borrow fifty U. S. Govel'l1ment tents from a nearby fort. The city granted the visiting singers the use of Hanscom Park where the tents were pitched under trees and among flower beds. With the acoustical quality of tents being what they are, three or four men harmonizing il1 one tent founcl responden t har­ many coming from neighboring tents. It was reported that they just couldn't quite sing all the songs they knew in one night. When daylight broke, they discovered sleep was necessary if they were to give a successful co ncert that da y. Neeclless to say, their voices had not been bene­ fitted by the night-long rehearsal.

The Sangerfest being held in Salt Lake City is a mile­ stone in American Norwegian Sangerfests. There have bee n t\vo distinct Norwegian Singers' Associations in the United States and Canada . These have both met separ­ ately in the past. This year, the ~or\Veg ian Singers' Asso­ ciation of America, consisting of choruses from the Rocky ~)f()lIntHins on the west to Brooklyn, New York on the eas t are joining with the Pacifie Coast ~orwegian Sil)g­ ers ' As socia tion in one great continental Sangerfest.

Thus, on the 70th Anniversary (1892-196:2.) of Sanger­ fests in America, another great step forward has been taken in the preserving and fostering of traditional Scan­ dinavian singing.

The "Lur" is again sounding to lure Norwegians from every section of North America to Salt Lake City.

For its length and size, the Virgin River has created more natural carnage than probably any other stream. In only about 150 miles, the norm­ ally puny little river plunges down from the 1O,000-foot heights of the Markagunt Plateau, slices its way through a 4,000-foot layer of solid rock, pauses to catch its breath at the mouth of Zion Canyon, then cuts through a few more up­ thrust cliffs, mountain ranges, and deserts before emptying into the Colorado River at the 1,100­ foot level.

In the process, the Virgin has created a series of awesome canyons so remarkable for size, form, and color that they have been included in our national park system as Zion National Park.

Zion is the favorite of many people. For over­ whelming grandeur, it has few (if any) equals.

In Zion, painted sandstone cliffs and enormous rock temples rise almost sheer above the narrow canyon floor for 2,000 to almost 4,000 feet.

Highways give access to many areas of great beauty in Zion; side roads and trails lead to others. The m in canyon road leads to secluded Temple of Sinawava, where the Virgin Narrows begin on one side and the Great White Throne looms up on another. Zi n Canyon is connected with Highway 89 by the famous Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway, which passes through a fantastic re­ gion of painted sandstone fonnations as well as a mile-long tunnel chiseled out of a high cliff.

VVindows along the tunnel aHord a rial views into the depths of Zion Canyon.

West of Zioo, but still in the Virgin Valley, is an ther strangely beautiful regi n - Utah's Dixie. This is a 1 nd of dead volcanoes, p etrified lava Bows, Bat-topped mesas buttes, sand dunes, rainbow cliHs and canyons, stretching away be­ neath guardian peaks of the rugged Pine Valley Mountains.

Almost lost amid the corrugatiOns of this jumbled terrain are some of Utah's oldest, quaintest settlements, where the past lives on in picturesque man-made stuctures. Settled in the 1 50's and 1860's by Mormon pioneers, these villages fought a v' liant b ttle again ·t poverty, isolation, and rampa ing rivers. Some lost the fight, and only crumbling .ruins mark the sites of their d feat. But most survived, maturing into attractive modem-day communities whose resi­ dents take pri e in their pioneer h rit ge. o longer isolated, th se friendly people in­ vite the world to .sit their wonderful Ian .

Many f the state's best travel accommodati ns and services are fo und here in the Virgin Valley, where western hospitality is not tradition but reality.

In Western Utah, the Great Basin r olls away toward the sunset in a seemingly endless series of broad, flat vall ys and craggy mountain ranges, fading hazily int the distance as far as the eye can see.

From any elevation, it is truly a I nd of vast - and fascinating - horizons. In every direction, the valleys and mountains beckon you on, just a little further, just a few more miles - only one more inviting ridge to cross, just one more valley to see.

Most of this is a lonely land, uninhabited and silent But in some of its valleys, hardy settlers have harnessed its streams and underground res­ ervoirs, and the desert has blossomed as the rose . . Western Utah's rugg d mountains have yielded fortunes in precious ores. Frisco, New­ house, Ophir, Gold Hill, MercW", Eureka, Mam­

For the most p art, only the agricultural set­ tlements have survived. Today they are happy, comfortable communities, where the people are fairly prosperous and plan to be even more so.

Most of Western Utah lay und r a thousand feet of water some 75,000 years ago. That was

the age of great glaciers, when the waters of ancient Lake Bonneville drowned the valleys and crept high onto the mountain slopes. Grad­ ually the climate changed, the glaciers disap­ peared, Lake Bonneville shriveled away, and only wave-worn terraces and dry lake bottoms remain to tell of its form er presence. These ter­ races and dry lakes are prominent features in Western Utah.

Sevier Lake was a remnant of Lake Bonne­ ville. In pioneer days, it contained much water; but the demands of irrigation since then have cut off its feeding streams, and now it is little more than a vast dry lake.

Western Utah is a fascinating region in its own unusual way. There are innumerable attrac-

tions for those who take the time to look. Notch Peak, highest lim tone monolith in Utah. Des­ erts of white sand and salt. Hot springs, cold springs, ice caves. Huge volcanic craters. Pony Express monuments. The world's fastest speed­ way, Utah's first capitol, old Mormon forts, quaint pioneer homes, picturesque rows of pop­ lar trees. Indian petroglyphs. Fossils. Beautiful mountain canyons, perfect for camping. Old mining towns with crumbling buildings, empty mine shafts, and deserted foundations. There is much to see for those with eyes to look.

The many communities along Highways 91, 50-6, 40, and other routes welcome visitors. 10st of the larger towns and cities have fine accom­ modations and all services for travelers.
